Council is committed to providing public spaces that promote active and healthy lifestyles and inclusion within our communities.

Detailed design finalised

The new detailed design for Dayboro Skate Park is now available to view.

In 2023, Council engaged consultants Convic to validate the concept design and create a detailed design for the skate park.

The detailed design reflects what we heard during the consultation and the historic themes of Dayboro township and it's community. This has been achieved by using consistent colours and some of the skateable elements paying tribute to Dayboro’s dairy and pineapple industries.

Key features

  • The new skate park features a separate mini pool-style bowl and a flowy street area laid out in a drain style arrangement.
  • Beginners will benefit from easy, mellow banks, a mogul, and small quarter pipes to practice on, with various ramp sizes to support skill progression.
  • Classic street-style rail and ledge obstacles are also included, allowing intermediate and advanced riders to challenge themselves with more technical tricks.

Themes and inspiration

The detailed design incorporates the pineapple and dairy themes into the skate park.

  1. These 3D visualisations display how the conveyer belt arm of a pineapple picking tractor can be reinterpreted as a skateable rail for the new skatepark.
  2. To collect and transport milk from the dairy cattle in Dayboro, farmers would use a tall, cylindrical container referred to as a ‘Milk Churn’. These containers are still found in dairy farms today and have been explored as a potential skateable feature. In the detailed design, the milk churn is embedded into the concrete to create a skateable angled rainbow rail.

Community Consultation

Between 2022 and 2023 Council consulted with the community on the concept design for the skate park.

About the project

The upgrade of the Dayboro Skate Park is part of a program of maintenance and renewal Council is investing in to improve twenty-three skate park facilities across our region. This program follows a detailed BMX and Skate Park Facilities Audit that was completed in 2019. The audit looked at the functionality, structural condition and strategic location of our skate park facilities.
